Getting and Viewing Your CloudTrail Log Files

After you create a trail and configure it to capture the log files you want, you
need to
be able to find the log files and interpret the information they contain.

CloudTrail delivers your log files to an Amazon S3 bucket that you specify when you
create the
trail. Typically, log files appear in your bucket within 15 minutes of the recorded
AWS
API call or other AWS event. Log files are generally published every 5 minutes.
